High Key Tone and Low Key Tone

Composing Photos with an emphasis on TONE
STUDENTS: Your assignment this week is to compose and shoot two photos that emphasize tone. The first will be a study of High Key Tone (think high light). The second photo will emphasize Low Key Tone (think low light). When you compose these photos make sure that the major compositional element is tone--that is be sure to get rid of any other distracting elements that might take away from your emphasis. . Bracket this assignment--Take a series of photos of the same subject in the same position--the series will only differ in the exposure compensation (-1, 0, +1). Take one photo slightly underexposed, one at the camera's suggested exposure, and one over exposed. That means 3 exposures for the High Key Tone shot and 3 exposures for the Low Key Tone shot. Be sure to label this post "Tone".
Have Fun!
Following are examples of High Key Tone and Low Key Tone, respectively.
